The Phoenix

A charming store with contemporary clothing in natural fibers, classic jewelery, folk and fine art, and Mexican antiques.
The Shops at Georgetown Park

In this large indoor mall right on the canal, shoppers can find the expected fashions, but also electrical goods, luggage, and many other specialties. There is a food court and popular restaurants.
The Shops at National Place

This mall is worth a visit even for nonshoppers. The architecture in the four-story space is inspired, and there are quiet areas to have a coffee. The shops are mainly boutiques and small emporiums.
Torpedo Factory Art Center

The building was originally a factory to manufacture torpedoes. Today, the site contains 83 studios where artists and craftspeople create work and offer it for sale on site. Prints, ceramics, photography, painting, and sculpture.
Tysons Corner Center and Galleria at Tysons II

This huge shopping complex has many anchor stores – Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Hecht’s, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, and Neiman Marcus. Two separate malls are separated by Chain Bridge Road. There’s plenty of parking, and some hotels run shuttle buses.
Tysons II Galleria Beyond Comics 2

Countless wares, fascinating for all ages, fill this shop. Not just comics but also action figures, T-shirts, posters, and novelties.
Up Against the Wall

More fashionable clothing – some for clubbing but much suitable for street wear and even business. The store sets a contemporary music theme for shoppers, and even has a part-time DJ.
Urban Outfitters

Casual city clothing is the staple product here. The store has its own good-quality brand of clothes. Other “urban” items, from aromatherapy candles to kitsch decorations, are stocked intermittently.
Watergate Mall

This small shopping area includes St-Laurent Rive Gauche, Valentino, and Saks Jandel. The wares are expensive, but fashion seekers sometimes find sales bargains.
Wooden Figures and Tableware

These marvelous carvings capture African skill and vision in the use of wood. In the National Museum of African Art.
